An unknown number of voters in Brevard County, Fla., may have voted twice after complaining to a precinct supervisor that their first ballot was missing an annexation issue, according to Local 6 News.

Voters in Cape Canaveral were supposed to be given special ballots that included the proposed annexation of Avon by-the-Sea in Brevard.

However, many voters at the Cape Canaveral library realized that the annexation issue was missing from their ballots.

"The ballot I was given did not have that issue on it but I turned it in," voter John Jacobs said. "Then, my wife, who voted before me said it was on hers."

Jacobs and others complained to the precinct supervisor who reportedly gave them another ballot.

"I'm very upset," Brevard County Supervisor of Elections Fred Galey said. "She (precinct supervisor) was still brain dead and gave them the ballot with the annexation question on it."

A second ballot gave voters a second round in the voting booth and a chance to vote twice for their favorite candidate, Local 6 News reported.

Galey said that it is not known how many people had the opportunity to vote twice before the problem was realized.

"You always hope for a perfect election and I was too, but right now we have a couple of bubbles we are going to have to work through."

The Division of Elections in Tallahassee has been notified of the problem.

There are no answers on how officials plan to resolve the problem but they don't plan to throw out any of the ballots, Local 6 News reported.
